Poll: Box Art Brawl: Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (GameCube)
Nintendo Life's recurring "Box Art Brawl" feature invites readers to vote on the best regional box art for a classic game, this week focusing on Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat for the GameCube. The choice was prompted by the recent reveal of an upcoming DK LEGO set, and follows last week's poll on Mario Superstar Baseball, in which the Western cover won decisively with 76% of the vote against the Japanese design's 24%.
Three covers were compared: the North American version, showing Donkey Kong leaping from a jungle backdrop with enemies and his signature bongos visible; the European version, similar but with a bright yellow background instead of the jungle scene; and the Japanese version, featuring a grey-blue background and no visible bongos. Readers voted North America the winner with 50% of 156 votes, ahead of Europe on 28% and Japan on 22%.
